Can anyone tell me if this is the same person?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

i'm trying to identify the man in these two photos as the same individual. I have confirmed the individuals identity from the first photo. Unfortunately nobody is alive to remember him when he was younger, so they are unable to tell me if the younger individual is the same person. I know the members here on Neowin come from many different backgrounds, and i'm hoping someone can help me out.

I personally believe they are based on several observations. 1. The lips match, the facial structure and shape is largely the same (although the aged version from the first photo is noticeably slimmer) 2. The ears appear to be the same. Unfortunately I am wanting these two photos to be the same person so my judgement is skewed.

Google Images is a good tool to find similar pictures and identify the person.

Unfortunately it's not quite so good with black and white photos cos there's not as much image information to match up, like colours obviously, only shades.

I did have a look with Google Images but sadly couldn't find a match, sorry.

Although I would point out that the mouth shape is almost identical (tight, pursed) so I think there's a good chance it's the same person.

I'm not an expert, but the nose looks to be completely different to me. The picture with the hat has a thinner bridge as compared to the nostrils. It also appears to slope down a bit, while the other appears to be almost level in slope.

I noticed that too. I attributed it to the fact that he was slimmer and more aged. Also, the perspective of the photo is different.
